Excellent quality headphones perfect base and sound. Headphones are 1of1 noise cancellation is incredible and adjustable once you turn it up without music you cannot hear anything at all. Worth every dollar. The best feature is when you’re listening to something if one earbud fall out it’ll stop the music/ activity all together so you’ll never lose your earbuds.

Best earbuds for noise cancellation

These earbuds are awesome! The noise cancellation is top notch! The only problem I have is that my right earbud doesn’t stay in my ear as well as the left side. Maybe that’s something to do with my ears. But I would definitely recommend these earbuds. The sound quality is off the charts.

Dead. Not working 12/2023 didnt even last 2 years. I doubt that Bose will cover under warranty. While they were working they worked well. Thats two strikes on Bose. The first was a good product until they stopped supporting it. Bose Hearphones. They did however partial refund the cost. That is when I bought these.

Noise cancellation is unreal, best in the business. Sound is excellent and is just what you would expect from Bose. Case is bulky compared to the AirPod Pro case but it’s not an issue. I would definitely recommend if you’re willing to pay $279.

I have tried almost every high end ear bud made and I have also owned all three Bose and two Bose over ear. With the exception of the fit when worn a long time, Bose has out done it again. The sound is awesome.

Great headphones amazing battery life has a charge indicator right in the front of the case. They are extremely comfortable and will stay put even under extreme sports like mountain biking they come with different size options in the box also different settings for noise cancellation from “I can still hear something” to “an airplane can crash next to me and I won’t find out unless I am actually watching” the one down side to it is they are not independent so yo have to use both or just the right one but you can not use just the left side on its own it will not pair to your device unless the right one is on…

Not worth the price tag - Too many bugs

At the time of writing this the plan is to return these. There are two options for noise cancelling earbuds at this price point and frankly for $279 ($200 on sale) these are not worth the price because of bugs and issues.
Main issues
Connectivity - not only is the range sub par to my OLD previous gen sound sports but it's not even remotely convenient to switch devices with these.
Touch controls - cool concept but needs to be taken a step further. It's great having the ability to assign one short cut but that's not enough to offset the loss of the physical buttons from lower end models from Bose. It's also impossible to put them in or take them out without doing or changing something with a swipe or press.
Bugs - These have several bugs that make them aggregating to use, especially if you are trying to focus or relax.
- randomly pauses music and resumes it. This happens randomly and still occurs when touch is disabled.
- randomly prompts voice assistant. You can disable this which seems to take care of it but basically makes the feature useless.
- randomly adjusts sound levels. Same as the issue with passing. No solutions provided by Bose solve this in their guides or manuals.
If the above issues were not present they would be fine but at this time not remotely worth the price tag.

These were a Christmas gift. I absolutely love them. The noise cancelling feature is beyond perfect. It really does drown the background noise out. It was easy to pair to my IPad and IPhone and the shortcuts are amazing. I definitely recommend this purchase.

This was a gift from my loving wiff for my 66th Birthday. I have a set of Q35 NQ head phones are light but to heavy for my neck, long story. The Q35 NC ear buds are perfect for listening to music stoned!!!!

Quality Earbuds

Unpacking the earbuds the first thing I noticed was the case is well made and will do a nice job of protecting the earbuds while stored inside.There’s a nice latch with the case charge indicator lights just below it. The earbuds seat into the case with a nice audible click that let you know they are seated properly in their respective slots. The case also supports wireless Qi charging
I’ve owned a prior set of wired Bose earbuds so I’m familiar with the StayHear tips and know the medium hooks are the right fit for my ears. I will say with the larger seals required to help with the noise cancelling, I can “feel” them in my ear canal on longer listening sessions than the non noise cancelling tips.
Musically the audio quality is what you’d expect from a Bose product. There’s a decent amount of bass and good separation across the frequency range even with noise cancelling off.
Phone calls were clear and neither party had a problem hearing the other, even while I was walking outside at a brisk pace.
You can use either earbud independently of the other, even if one is left in the case. The disadvantage to using the left earbud on its own is the loss of the touch controls for Siri and answering/ending calls or starting/stopping your music. Seems like this could be an option in the app to switch commands from one earbud to the other (especially for left handers).
Touch controls
On the right earbud:
Touch and hold to summon Siri
Double tap to,play/pause music or answer/end a call
On the left earbud:
Double tap to change noise cancellation levels. You can set your preference in the Music app.
You also have two choices of “shortcuts” in the Music app, both activated by a touch and hold. You can either check the battery level or skip to the next song.
I listen to music more then I make calls, so I would have liked an option for volume control, but since I have an Apple Watch I can still adjust my volume without having access to my phone.
Overall I’m impressed with the Bose QC Earbuds

No Volume or Skip Back control on the Earbuds.

So I bought the Sennheiser TW2 till the QC's were released.
I was hoping they would sound great. I really liked my SoundSport Free till the left one would not hold a charge.
First thing I noticed is no Volume or Skip Back controls on the Earbuds. I don't always wear my phone so that is almost a deal breaker.
Since I have 45 days before I have to return them. I decided to test audio between the two. (Amazon HD was the source)
The Bose had good bass even with low volumes due to the "Volume-optimized Active EQ". They seemed to focus on midrange. But highs were not that clear.
The Sennheiser's had good bass good midrange, but the highs were much clearer than the QC's.
At low volumes, Bose had it. But at higher volumes I preferred the Sennheiser.
Noise Cancelling: With the Bose, if you turned it off. It went directly to Transparency Mode so you could hear background noise. You couldn't really turn it off and just use Passive noise cancelling.
You were able turn off the ANC on the Sennheiser's. Even choose if you want Transparency Mode on or off with Music Playing or not.
Both seemed work work very well.
I'll see if Bose will release a firmware soon, or I guess they will be going back.

Did not like these. In fact, if the left ear is missing forget using these headphones at all. I think the problem is simply the inability to use when the other is not in. That’s weird. They are also huge!
